Chris Snelling
So which is it? First you change Snelling from Australian to American, commenting that he was born in the USA (which is true), then change it back, commenting that he is considered a native Australian (how can where you are born be disputable?). It seems to me that players are listed by their place of birth, even if that is not where they grew up (see Edwin Jackson.) I am actually curious to know the guidelines for this, if there are any.

Seeking community input re standardizing baseball roster pages
Hi ... I'm leaving you this note because you recently made edits to one of the Major League Baseball roster pages.

Braves roster
Corky Miller has been purchased from AAA to take Saltalamacchia's place as backup catcher. Therefore, Dotel and Teixeira would make 27 men on the 25-man roster, so we have to wait until room is cleared for them.►Chris Nelson 20:43, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Edit summaries
I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! --Sanfranman59 18:24, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Alex Cintron
Hi,
I was wondering if you had an article on Alex Cintron? You added him to the Tacoma Roster and i was just wondering what the specs were on how the M's acquired him.
P.S. I created a navbox for the Rainiers Template:Tacoma Rainiers roster navbox and i saw you edit the M's a lot. If you could, add this to current Rainiers players.

When you update a players page can you put what happened in the body of the article. An example for Craig Tatum would be: On November 20, 2009 Tatum was claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Orioles.--Yankees10 21:24, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Impersonating?
Hi, can you explain why you are impersonating my signature here? If you can't be creative, then use the standard signature. Also, it seems to me that you are signing manually (seems that you have never signed at Wikipedia). The UTC time you wrote is totally incorrect. To sign automatically, use ~~~~. HeyMid (contributions) 18:05, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Sorry for that. I am new to discussing things on Wikipedia. I usually contribute but do not discuss things. Doh286 (talk) 18:09, 10 October 2010 (UTC).
I did not know it was wrong to do this. I will use the standard signature for now on. Doh286 (talk) 18:12, 10 October 2010 (UTC).
- OK. But didn't you understand at first that such behavior is irritating? Also, I believe it's not nice to steal others' signatures, just because you didn't know how to sign automatically. At Special:Preferences you can design your own signature :). HeyMid (contributions) 18:14, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Acquired?
Hi. About New Jersey's roster; Josefson was Djurgården's player during the 2009-10 season, he did not belong to New Jersey. He signed a contract with New Jersey on May 14, 2010 and was therefore acquired by the club, but not before May 14, 2010. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 18:37, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hi again. Could you please explain to me why you think Josefson was acquired by NJD in 2009 without having signed any contract with the club? Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 19:00, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
He was drafted by New Jersey in the 2009 NHL player draft. Doh286 (talk) 19:13, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, but how does that mean that he was acquired by NJD? He still had a contract with Djurgården at the time. He first signed with NJD in 2010, so I don't understand your reasoning. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 19:51, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hello again. Please, explain to me why the draft matters when he didn't sign anything until May 14, 2010? It would be like saying that Tedenby was acquired in 2008 when he actually played with HV71 for two more seasons, and didn't join NJD until May 14, 2010. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 20:38, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- Just an FYI Tooga, WP:Hockey considers the NHL to be the top league in the world. Thus, when the Devils draft a player, regardless of when he signs a contract he is considered Devils' property as of the draft. Playing in Europe simply means that he is a prospect for that team. Most CHL players don't sign contracts for nearly a year after they are drafted. Most NCAA don't sign for 4 years after they are drafted. This doesn't mean that the player is any less of a NHL prospect simply because he is unsigned. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 23:56, 23 October 2010 (UTC)]
- Wow, that's screwed up. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 11:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
- No, it is just like the NHL drafts players from juniors: kid gets drafted in 2008, does not sign a contract until 2009 and does not play in NHL until 2011; still listed as 2008. Think it as being named to a team's reserve or protected list: no other NHL team claim/sign him until he is released from that team's listRaul17 (talk) 00:25, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- Wow, that's screwed up. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 11:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Mark Fraser
Is Fraser on the Devils' Injured Reserve list? I see him listed as a scratch on the NHL Gameday roster since he's been injured, but Salvador nor Rolston appears on the roster list. Raul17 (talk) 00:25, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
I know that he is injured but I do not believe he is on injured reserve. Doh286 (talk) 00:49, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
I was not the person who added Fraser to the injured list as at the time there was no official word on what his status was. Doh286 (talk) 00:52, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Fraser is now officially on injured reserve Doh286 (talk) 17:46, 29 October 2010 (UTC).

Lake Erie Monsters
I was just wondering what errors I made when adding the two players that were acquired today. I thought that the entries I made were correct. I am new to this so I want to be able learn from mistakes. Thanks Weatherman05071 (talk) 04:34, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
You have to make sure you put the players in alphabetic order. Doh286 (talk) 04:52, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
OK, I didn't know that it mattered. I will keep it in mind. Another question, since it is a minor league team, when people get recalled does the player that is leaving just get his/her spot removed if or until they return? ThanksWeatherman05071 (talk) 06:00, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

I've noticed you're rather familiar with this template. Perhaps you can take a look at recent changes to determine exactly what's gone wrong with it.
